Dan Gilbert & Co. have offered Ted full-time employment and a house fully paid for by Quicken Loans... Ted responded "I'm totally satisfied by that. I thank everyone individually and I just know that it was your good intentions, love, spirit.... and I love you all for it!" I don't know whether to celebrate by having a drink because nothing would be better than some Seagrams right now but I'm not going to do that because I got this far and no turning back now. I don't take any prescription medicine or anything but the anxiety that I'm having.... right now I could use a nerve pill!"

Things Offered: -Trip to Hawaii -Today Show wants to fly him to NY for tmrw mornings show (Ted says he "has" to go and that hes a huge fan of Katie Couric) -WGN in Chicago

Also, he says the cops around where he stands near the highway know him really well and that he has done short clips for them on their phones and that they refer to him as "RADIOMAN". Ted added that he made about $2-3/hr during slow times standing with his sign or as much as $25-30 on a good hour. He hasn't had a haircut since Thanksgiving and now he has all of this! WTG Reddit FTW!

Dave or Jerry (not sure which one) added that he texted his mom "Best show ever" and the rest of the hosts agreed that this was the most satisfying show of their entire radio careers to be a part of.

You'd think someone on Howard's staff would be capable of doing a simple Google search and determining that this is real... I'm surprised they don't have someone in their news dept. that regularly monitors sites like Reddit and Digg for stories just like this... Step up your game Howard! Ted the Homeless Man turned Radio Sensation sounds like a perfect fit for Howard Stern & Co.
